Legend

According to Moonalice legend, in our tribe Cooperstown IS baseball. We don’t mind that the story of baseball’s founding is a myth. Our whole tribe is a myth. Legend is our business, just as it is the business of Cooperstown and National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. To that end, I present Exhibit A. Tonight’s poster by Alexandra Fischer depicts another piece of legend, Clark Chadwick Doubleday Moonalice, a journeyman infielder whose fear of flame throwing pitcher Christy Mathewson caused him to invent a uniform made of asbestos. Unfortunately, Clark’s bat was made of wood and combusted on Mathewson’s first pitch.

Notes

75th Anniversary of the National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum

Due to circumstances beyond the control of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, the planned mega-event for the Hall’s 75th Anniversary was cancelled on two weeks’ notice. The village of Cooperstown organized an alternative event in Lakeside Park: Moonalice + Field of Dreams!
